Progesterone Only Pill
Since my diagnosis I cannot get settled and I have tried the Mirena Coil, Depo, and then got thrown on
Levest
/Millinette by my GP. I am not having a great time on the combined pill, hence the debate of gong back on Progesterone Only.

Periods after surgery
I’m 41 and pill that has been recommended is
Levest
or Rigevidon. I don’t know whether to give my body more time or take the pill. Has anyone else experienced anything similar or got any advice? Thank you.

At the moment I'm taking
Levest
to help manage the symptoms which seemed to work for a couple months when I had energy and was pain free! Even though I've continued to take the pill, for the last couple months I've been experiencing pain, bleeding, nausea, bloating and fatigue again.

advice on synacthen test
for anyone who has been following my story they will know I’ve been having medication issues and I am now taking T3 only. Still having issues with weight gain. Spoke to my endocrinologist last week and she has agreed the increase to 40mcg. This was after she had suggested trying a small dose of levothyroxine

Blood test results in full. Can anyone find a cause in there for my continued fatigue etc?
I still have the same symptoms, although some have improved a bit, but not gone, by any means. Still housebound. I list below Blood test results. Can anyone suggest an issue that may cause my symptoms because my GP says no action, normal. Serum 25 - HO Vit D3 level 135nmol/L 50-174

Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Test results
Afternoon, My Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Panel results have arrived after a long wait and I’d appreciate some help understanding them. I undertook the test to check my DIO1 and DIO2 status, both of which appear ‘normal’ (no inherited defects). However, three variants are flagged up in either red

Some advice please
Hi, I'm in surgical menopause and have not felt 'well' for a number of years now. I won't bore you with the backstory of my trials and tribulations with HRT, all in the pursuit of feeling well enough to fully function. I've questioned Thyroid for some time, I had tests last September and posted them

Low Cortisol Symptoms Hid Lymphoma
Reduction of steroids—Extreme exhaustion, loss of appetite and weight, weakness, dry coughing, numb chin. All but the numb chin could be symptoms of low cortisol. A lower spine MRI to find a pinched nerve that had been hurting my glute resulted in an immediate call from radiologist to get to ER

T4/T3 converter
How I know if I’m a good converter. I have low cortisol all day long and below is my lab test. Please advise. Taking T4 70 mcg/T3 18 mcg. I struggle to add T3 even in small doses.
